[Intro]
A Em G D

[Verse 1]
A
 We're paper planes
        Em
 in the sky
G
Driftin' where the
          D
 wind blows
A                      Em
 Yeah, gravity held me tight
    G                     D
But with you, I can let go

[Pre-Chorus]
A
I know, I know
         Em
When I'm hallow, hallow
    G
You take it all away
    D
And fill the empty spaces
A
Don't know, don't know
        Em
'Bout tomorrow, 'morrow
    G             D
But I know that today

[Chorus]
  A                 Em
I feel a little bit lighter
         G
When the world's
          D
 heavy as stone
       A
In the cold, you shine
       Em
a bit brighter
              G   D
When I'm with you
    A
Wherever we go
    Em
The cold ain't so cold
   G
As long as you're close
  D
I thought you should know
  A                 Em
I feel a little bit lighter
              G   D
When I'm with you

[Verse 2]
A                      Em
 The tide can pull us away
G                        D
Don't matter where we are
A
'Cause when you're
         Em
 inches away
G                      D
Heaven's never that far

[Pre-Chorus]
A
I know, I know
         Em
When I'm hallow, hallow
    G
You take it all away
    D
And fill the empty spaces
A
Don't know, don't know
        Em
'Bout tomorrow, 'morrow
    G             D
But I know that today

How to play Lighter: key, chords and progression

These are Lighter chords by Galantis, David Guetta & 5 Seconds Of Summer (5SOS) on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Lighter by Galantis, David Guetta & 5 Seconds Of Summer sits in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), and you need 4 chords to play it: A, Em, G and D.

Most of the song cycles through A – Em – G – D (V – ii – IV – I in D major). In solfa, that is soh – reh – fah – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
